Alan - what do you suggest? These works were advertised well in advance and we all knew that locally it would be hell. As a Local Councillor I very directly "feel your pain" because I live here. This does not mean that any of us or LBH itself can do very much to alleviate the situation if TfL chooses to shut one of their bridges to carry out essential maintenance. It will be interesting to see if the LBH Traffic Department do come up with any practical suggestions. I spent a couple of hours on Thames Road on Saturday morning as a pedestrian and although there was a massive traffic jam motorists seemed to be behaving calmly and sensibly. A small number of drivers were doing U turns and trying to find alternative routes back via side streets - again this was being done sensibly. Even at the pinch point under the railway bridge drivers were doing what they are supposed to and giving right of way to on coming traffic. |
